Chapter 2380 — Chapter 2380 Path of Enlightenment

"Cultivate normally…?" Lev's face twitched at Yuan's ridiculous answer.

There was simply no way that was true, but Lev had no evidence to prove it.

Supreme Ruler Dena suddenly asked, "When you entered False God, how long did you spend inside the Path of Enlightenment? How far did you go?" The phenomenon one experiences when attempting to enter God Ascension or False God is called the Path of Enlightenment in the Demonic Realm.

Yuan pondered for a moment before responding, "It happened only recently, but for some reason, I cannot recall exactly how far I was able to traverse, but I definitely remember passing 600 layers."

"Six hundred layers?!"

Not just Lev, but even Supreme Ruler Dena exclaimed in disbelief, their faces full of shock.

"I don't mean to be rude, but there's absolutely no way you have broken through 600 layers! You must have recalled wrong!" Lev said, refusing to believe Yuan's claim of 600 layers, unaware that Yuan had actually passed the 1,000th layer.

"I don't know if it still holds true now, but I was once considered to have gone the furthest at the Path of Enlightenment," said Supreme Ruler Dena. "And I was only able to reach the 300th layer. Yet, you somehow managed to double that?"

"You don't believe me?" Yuan raised his eyebrows. "I'm not lying, though."

Supreme Ruler Dena shook her head and said, "I believe you, since that's the only logical reasoning to your absurd level of Soul Power. I can only imagine how much stronger it'll get once your level advances and you reach True God, as your Soul Power will continuously grow with every level, depending on how far you have traversed in the Path of Enlightenment."

"And once you become a True God…you will regain all of the Soul Power you've lost."

Yuan raised an eyebrow at this information.

"I will regain all of the Soul Power I cultivated during the Path of Enlightenment when I reach True God?"

He had reached Cultivation God before, but he never regained all of his Soul Strength, so this was news to him.

Supreme Ruler Dena fell silent for a moment before replying, "Or maybe it was the realm of Absolute God. I forgot."

"It's likely Absolute God, but the furthest I've ever gotten was True God. I wasn't even aware of the existence of the Absolute God until I returned here," Yuan said.

"Wait a second," Lev suddenly cut in. "What do you mean the furthest you've gotten was True God when you're clearly only at the first level False God? Did your cultivation regress?"

"No, I died and reincarnated." Yuan calmly explained his bizarre existence as if it were something ordinary.

"R-Reincarnated…?" Lev's jaw dropped.

The concept of reincarnation also existed within the Demonic Realm, but nobody had ever been able to prove that it was real.

"You… died?" Even Supreme Ruler Dena was looking at him with a dumbfounded expression, as Yuan had never explained in detail why he was now called Yuan instead of Tian Chenyu.

She simply assumed that he'd decided to change his name for some reason.

However, what truly surprised her wasn't the fact that he'd been reincarnated but that he'd died.

"How did you die?" Supreme Ruler Dena inquired, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly as a dangerous glint flickered within them.

Having fought Tian Chenyu herself, she was very well aware of his prowess. In fact, Tian Chenyu was the only individual whom she couldn't kill, even with all of her might.

"You don't want to know," Yuan said with a calm smile.

"I do," she insisted.

"I'll tell you when the time comes."

"..."

"Then give me your blood," she then said. "We've gotten rid of the Nether Wraiths, after all."

However, Yuan started stretching and responded in a tired voice, "I would love to, but after using so much power to get rid of them, I am now exhausted. I'll give you my blood once I recover a little."

Anyone, including Lev, could tell that Yuan was making things up, as he'd barely exerted any effort to deal with the Nether Wraiths. Yet, Supreme Ruler Dena could only accept it while silently gritting her teeth.

'Was the Supreme Ruler always this… docile?' Lev wondered inwardly as he glanced at Supreme Ruler Dena.

According to rumors, Supreme Ruler Dena was one of the most stubborn and troublesome Supreme Rulers to ever rule the Demonic Realm. Not only was she lazy and quick to push all of her responsibilities onto her subordinates, but she was also notoriously overbearing whenever things did not go her way.

Yet the Supreme Ruler Dena was the complete opposite right now, as she seemed to listen to Yuan without questioning his demands or forcing herself on him.

They resumed their journey shortly afterward.

Unsurprisingly, more Nether Wraiths appeared to attack them along the way. However, Yuan easily erased them from existence with his Soul Strength.

'This journey is far more relaxing than I anticipated…' Lev thought to himself, having already prepared for the worst.

He turned to look at Yuan, who was doing all of the work, and asked, "If you don't mind me asking, what's your world, the Divine Heaven, like?"

"It's pretty much the same as this world, but nowhere near as grim."

"Huh? What do you mean by grim?" Lev asked with a genuinely puzzled look on his face.

"Deprived Crimson Valley, Sea of Death, Valley of Blood, Corpse Mountain… most of the places in this world bear such grim names. Even the world itself is dyed in crimson, as if the entire realm has been soaked in blood."

"Is that so? They sound pretty ordinary to me," Lev said.

"Oh, my world is no longer called the Divine Heaven. After it was split into nine separate realms, it came to be known as the Nine Heavens."

"What?! Is that even possible? How could something like that even happen?" Lev asked, his gaze brimming with intrigue.

"Long story short, a huge fight broke out, and as a result, it split the world."
